Lawyers report a higher incidence of anxiety, depression, suicidality, and substance use than the general public. While recognizing and discussing these issues helps destigmatize mental health in the legal profession, a proactive approach to lawyer well-being is essential. Taking care of ourselves is no longer optional; it is a requirement to meet the ethical standards of the profession and provide competent representation to our clients. In this program, Emily Logan Stedman explores the definition of well-being for lawyers, the barriers to better mental health, and the ethical obligations and considerations for lawyer well-being. Additionally, she discusses individual and organizational responsibilities and the future of attorney well-being. This comprehensive approach aims to improve the profession for lawyers, colleagues, and clients.
